Goo Goo Dolls To Release ‘Magnetic’ May 6th 2013

The Goo’s- Grammy-nominated band are feeling particularly good about their tenth album, Magnetic, due for release on May 6th 2013.More to the point, the Goo Goo Dolls are feeling particularly good. Period.

“This album was really upbeat and fun,” says John Rzeznik, the trio’s primary singer, songwriter and guitarist since it was founded in Buffalo in 1986. “I don’t think we’ve made a record like this in a while. We just had a great time doing it.”

Bassist Robby Takac, whose partnership with Rzeznik has been the band’s foundation since the start, has just had his first child, and Rzeznik is getting married this summer. That joy is all there in the spirit of the 11 new songs on the album, for which Rzeznik, Takac and drummer Mike Malinin – the lineup steady since 1995 – recorded in New York, London and Los Angeles with Gregg Wattenberg (Train), Rob Cavallo (Green Day), John Shanks (Bon Jovi) and Greg Wells (Katy Perry). From the celebratory single “Rebel Beat” to the love-rediscovery ballad “Slow It Down,” from the blue-collar anthem “Keep the Car Running” to the meltingly romantic “Come to Me,” Magnetic is an album bursting with a spirit of renewal.

Goo Goo Dolls have sold over 10 million albums worldwide, with 14 Top 10 Radio hits, more than any other artist in the history of the Hot AC format. John Rzeznik has been honored with the Songwriters Hall of Fame Hal David Starlight Award and most recently Goo Goo Dolls honored President Barack Obama with a headlining slot at The Creative Coalition’s Inaugural Ball, in Washington, DC.
